Christian Dior by John Galliano SS2002 Butterfly Embroidered Shirt – Black

Size S (please refer to measurements)

A rare Christian Dior button-up shirt from the Spring/Summer 2002 collection by John Galliano, one of the designer’s most celebrated and collectible periods at the house. Combining impeccable tailoring with intricate embroidery, the piece perfectly illustrates Galliano’s ability to merge romantic craftsmanship with modern femininity.

Crafted from lightweight black cotton, the silhouette is softly fitted through the body with carefully placed vertical seams that create a flattering, elongated shape. The classic pointed collar and gold-tone button fastening maintain the refined simplicity of the construction, allowing the exceptional embroidery to become the focal point of the design.

The long sleeves are fashioned from sheer black mesh, richly embroidered with delicate floral vines composed of iridescent sequins and intricate beadwork. This striking contrast between the opaque body and transparent sleeves creates depth, texture, and movement while showcasing the couture-level craftsmanship synonymous with Galliano's Dior.

At the back, the house's iconic butterfly motif emerges from an embroidered branch at the hem, rendered in warm shades of gold, rust, and muted green, accented with shimmering crystals that catch the light with every movement. This butterfly became one of the defining signatures of Dior under Galliano and remains one of the most recognizable motifs of his early 2000s collections.

Elegant, romantic, and unmistakably Dior, the piece can be worn buttoned as a statement blouse or layered over a slip dress or camisole for a more relaxed interpretation.

A beautiful archival garment from one of John Galliano’s most iconic collections for the house.
